Why am I seeing this Ranked on recency
It is here mostly because it is new. Freshness is the largest single contributor to its score, which means nothing about the story except that it is recent.

| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 27% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.70 | +0.175 35% | Nintendo Life is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshnessleads | 0.20 | 0.97 | +0.195 39% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
Nintendo's official website for the Zelda series has updated its entry for A Link Between Worlds with a mysterious 'Playable with Nintendo Switch Online' icon, leading some to believe that it's a hint of an upcoming expansion to the paid service. The site is home to a series timeline, listing every mainline game from the NES original through to the Ocarina of Time remake. The likes of A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening and Oracle of Seasons are all marked with a 'Playable on NSO' button and, indeed, you can play all of them on the service. A Link Between Worlds has been locked to the 3DS since its launch back in 2013, however. Not only is it decidedly not playable on Nintendo Switch Online, but there isn't even a library for the console. com
